"I'm too lazy to listen to this band"
I can tell you that it's more than one band playing and that one of them is Mirah.

I've never been to Castle Clinton. How big is it? I won't be able to get there until about 6:15. Do you think getting in will be a problem?

mirah was really good. thanks for the reminder, bv.
fleck was kinda boring. and i had to take off to make the submarines/headlights show. which was tremendous.

I caught Abigail Washburn as an opening act once (I forgot who the headliner was) at B.B. King's. I remember that she was charming but her music wasn't really my cup of tea.
Whenever I see a female musician dolled up in a press photo like this one, I cringe at the thought that artists (male and female alike) have to do stuff like this for publicity.
